MORENCI (AP) -- About 200 people have resumed search efforts in southern Michigan and northern Ohio for three brothers last seen at their father's home on Thanksgiving.
Morenci police in Michigan's Lenawee County said Friday's organized search would be the last of the week for 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton.
Their father, 39-year-old John Skelton, remains held in a Toledo jail on a $3 million bond after he declined Wednesday to waive extradition to Michigan on parental kidnapping charges.
Police said the unemployed truck driver fabricated a story about leaving the children with an acquaintance.
Skelton attempted suicide last Friday. He was arrested Tuesday.
A Dec. 14 hearing is scheduled.
Morenci is a town of about 2,000 residents, located about 75 miles southwest of Detroit.
